Ketan, lets keep aside the discussion on guides for a few minutes. I need
clarification on 2 issues and that too for Maharashtra only at present. I am
asking because
a. I dont know the answers b. Because no one in the organisations will tell
me and
c. because I know that you have ground level knowledge.
You say that books should b
available for students. Are they still not available? What is the
requirment and how much is reaching?
Whose responsibility?
Who do we have to activate to solve this problem?
Are these books not available in time?
When do they really reach the students.
Please concentrate and let talk offline if need be with proper facts and
figures.
what are the several NGOs doing in Maharashtra-no one has gone to court as
yet. Why wait for the CJ to bring up an issue.
If text books dont rech the students on time then I cannot expect them to be
able to compete and if they cannot compete then the whole effort on solving
the employment issue is without a strong foundation.

Dear Kanchan,
Although this is a salutary direction (Order), my contention is that if at
all, all the books for study first need to be made available in accessible
format in reasonable time rather than past papers. Of course, if we were
to take the argument that all that is available to sighted students also
needs to be available to the blind then what about guides?
Please do not take this as undervaluing the order but only that so many
other requirements need to be fulfilled.
Ketan

The court wanted to know today if past papers are available for Tenth and
Twelth standard in Braille.
anyone who knows anything on this subject please let me know.
Also if they havent been available in Braille then are they available in
any other accessible format?
if not available then how did visually challenged manage so far?
In the meantime under court directions, it is being arranged. Wait for
more information on this topic.
